Abstract

We construct 22-generator non-Hopfian groups Gm,m=3,4,5,G_m, m=3, 4, 5, \dots, where each GmG_m has a specific presentation Gm=a,burm,0=urm,1=urm,2==1G_m=\langle a, b \, | \, u_{r_{m,0}}=u_{r_{m,1}}=u_{r_{m,2}}= \cdots =1 \rangle which satisfies small cancellation conditions C(4)C(4) and T(4)T(4). Here, urm,iu_{r_{m,i}} is the single relator of the upper presentation of the 22-bridge link group of slope rm,ir_{m,i}, where rm,0=[m+1,m,m]r_{m,0}=[m+1,m,m] and rm,i=[m+1,m1,(i1)m,m+1,m]r_{m,i}=[m+1,m-1,(i-1)\langle m \rangle,m+1,m] in continued fraction expansion for every integer i1i \ge 1.
